i found the matchbox rattle the most interesting as a sat and listened it felt like the person was actually around me
weird. just played phantom melodies, quickening beat, falling bells, and shepherd’s ascending tones all at once.
Jawbone JAMBOX just updated their software so that it can play binaural recordings. It totally justified the $200 price tag it has, as if it wasn’t already justified! I was up to 3:00 am playing with this website and some youtube videos that utilizes binaural recordings. The name for the JAMBOX software is called LiveAudio and it works perfectly. The virtual barbershop sounds just like it does with headphones on. I could not believe it!!! Now they’re working with record companies to get them to record more of their music in binaural format so that we can enjoy it on our JAMBOX!!!
Muito legal mesmo, eu ja tinha ouvido o barbershop, muito loco. Tem algum outro super legal igual o barbershop? minha net é um poco lenta e n vo baixar todos.
I’ll sabe wolverine’s some time and translate:
Really cool, i had heard barbershop and thoght it awesome. Is there any other cool sound like barbershop? I’ve gotta a slow internet and i wont download them all.
Corrige ai se tive algum erro pfv =p
Hahaha! Thanks for the translation :D
all the links are down. Fix please!
Fixed. Thanks for telling =)
What’s up with the under 20’s one??
Most people under the age of about 25 can not hear the sound because it is so high piched. I tried it. It was just a joke, just like screamer videos. I’m 15 so i can hear it by the way.
Perfeitoooo!!!
Translation: Perfect!
Muito interessante.
Wolverine, traduza por favor!
Hahaha! Obrigado Pedro Evandro =)
Translation: Very interesting.
Wolverine, translate please!
Muito legal, fico a imaginar se estivesse um áudio de terror aqui, seria muito massa
Translation: “Very cool, I’m wondering if a sound of terror here, it would be really cool”
Really really cool guys…loved it !
O corte de cabelo em 3D é muito divertido. A imersão é total. E o sussurro do barbeiro no ouvido, então? huahuá…
Efeito muito bom. Imagine só assistindo um filme de terror com esse som 3D, vai ser difícil aguentar a tensão!
Translated:
Just the first two sounds are interesting, the others are boring.
muito massa! Principalmente o do barbeiro.
Translated “really cool! Mainly Barber…”
Nossa.. muito interessante esses sons adorei!!
Translated: I loved these sounds very interesting!
oh gosh I cant hear the under 20s and Im a producer, how bad is that?
Try to download mp3 sample and turn up the volume. It’s 18kHz sine wave (barely audible) – play-pause-play should help to catch it. At the moment i can “hear” the similar freq sounds in my head, so it’s not helping but can hear that 18kHz anyway.
Don’t get discouraged about the under 20 one. I am 29 with hearing loss in my family and tinnitus of my own but I can hear the horrible shreak if I turn up the volume on my rather hi-fi stereo.
If you have crumby speakers you would likely not hear it if you were 10.
?
soon to be 25, hear the terrible tone no prob.
I really love the barbershop one. I always thought the whole binaural thing was for meditation and relaxation and the such. I’d love to find more like the barbershop. that was funny and really really impressive. I twitched when the electric razor was by each ear! haha
The interrogation chamber that we made is the same type of recording as the barbershop one. It is a lot more serious and scary though, like a B-style thriller movie :P
